BEYOND THE BLUE HORIZON
(Paramount)
ALAYA is the country that ‘lies beyond the Very blue technicolour horizon. Malaya in the days before The Fall. To this pre Japanese paradise
Dorothy Lamour returns with an entourage consisting of a very sun-bronzed young man in a leopard skin, an American scientist, and a very blonde young woman in a solar topee, all bent on proving that Dorothy, who was reared in the jungle by a Swimming Tiger, is really an American millionheiress. As comic relief they take along a circus clown, a’ mischievous monkey, and a song entitled "A Full Moon and an Empty Heart." The chief hazards encountered by these Five Frightened People are treacherous natives and a very mad elephant, but as a Lamour fan of long standing I must say I found such experiences rather disappointing. As for Miss Lamour herself, there is nothing new to record, except that her sarong this time indubitably consists of one of my wife’s tea-waggon covers.
